I like the tip up approach a lot, from an ease of maintenance point of view. While that's one fine looking pistol, my High Standard HD Military is long ago paid for. Besides I'm more of a rifle fan than a pistolero. I shoot my three pistol calibers just enough to feel confident I can hit what I intend to. Now from the less rational side of my brain, that's one fine looking pistol!
